Laugh a minute: The problem

There was an engineer, a manager and a programmer driving down a steep mountain road.
The brakes failed and the car careered down the road out of control.
Half way down the driver managed to stop the car by running it against the embankment narrowing avoiding going over a cliff.
They all got out, shaken by their narrow escape from death, but otherwise unharmed.
The manager said "To fix this problem we need to organize a committee, have meetings, and through a process of continuous improvement, develop a solution."
The engineer said "No that would take too long, and besides that method never worked before. I have my trusty pen knife here and will take apart the brake system, isolate the problem and correct it."
The programmer said "I think you're both wrong! I think we should all push the car back up the hill and see if it happens again."

Quote of the day

It could be the banner of WALK Program as well.

"Study and practice are both very important, but they must go hand in hand. Faith without knowledge is not sufficient. Faith needs to be supported by reason. However intellectual understanding that is not applied in practice is also of little use. Whatever we learn from study we need to apply sincerely in our daily lives." Dalai Lama

WALK tall.

Barbie Joke...
 

A man walks into a store to buy a Barbie doll for his daughter. "How much is that Barbie in the window?", he asks the shop assistant.

The assistant replies, "Which Barbie? We have Barbie Goes to the Gym for $25.95, Barbie Goes to the Ball for $25.95, Barbie Goes Shopping for $25.95, Barbie Goes to the Beach for $25.95, and Divorced Barbie for $495.00"

The guy asks, "Why is Divorced Barbie different from all the others ?

"That's obvious," the assistant says, "Divorced Barbie comes with Ken's
house, Ken's car, Ken's boat, Ken's furniture..."

Spread the word: Dishonest people

Have you ever noticed that there are dishonest people whom we love for the way they are?
But there are also dishonest people whom we don't like at all.
And, last but not least, there are some whom we cannot decide about.

Where does these people belong to according to you?
charmer, cheat, fibber, hypocrite, profiteer, trickster, wheeler-dealer
